Is there an updated router that supports Plex and has two usb inputs for drives?

I have a Nighthawk 10 with Plex and love it. Now I have attempted to add a second media drive and found out that only one of the usbs is for drives and the other for a printer. Is there a better solution that I can have Plex and be able to use both of my media drives?

    Nighthawk 10 is not a model number! Do you mean the R9000?

    Get a NAS 😛

      Can't disagree there. NETGEAR doesn't support Plex anymore.

       

      USB is fine for dumb storage, like local backup, but not for anything that needs some processing oomph.
